Chapter 41: Abandonment on the Day of the Wedding

Today is the wedding day of Jiang Duanchen and Su Ling. Every household on Jinping Street hung red lanterns at the door to wish the two newlyweds a hundred years of happiness.

Su Ling also put on her wedding dress early, dressed up at home, and waited for Jiang Duanchen to come to greet her.

Su Ling sat in front of the dresser, looking at himself quietly in the bronze mirror with a pair of smart eyes. She is petite and delicate, with delicate facial features, and her face is whiter and tenderer in a red wedding dress, and her eyebrows and eyes are full of tenderness.

Su Mu stood behind her and combed her long ink-colored hair, with envy in her eyes, she slowly spoke: "I didn't expect my sister to get married so soon, and my future brother-in-law looks good, Sister Ling is really blessed." ”

Su Ling turned around, looked at Su Mu gently, and said lightly with red lips: "A good girl like us Mu'er will definitely have a good marriage in the future, and my sister will also help you pay attention to it." ”

"Hmm." Su Mu nodded dumbfounded, and continued to help her sister make up.

Now there are only two women left in the family, and they don't know much about these boudoir things, so they can only try their best to do what they need to do. She wants her sister to marry off beautifully.

Su Mu firmed his eyes and smiled.

The two girls looked at their beautiful faces in the mirror and smiled.

Jiang Duanchen was also busy arranging at home, the beams of the house were hung with vermilion satin, the windows were pasted with double happiness, and the red brocade carpet spread from the hall to the gate of Jiangfu, and the eyes were full of red and festive celebrations.

Jiang Shengchuan flipped through the roster and wrote wedding cards to the old people one by one, this is his son's once-in-a-lifetime wedding, and he must have a huge and full house.

Jiang Duanchen was wearing a red wedding dress, wearing a feather crown and tying up his black hair, and a gold silk trimmed jade belt around his waist, he was tall and slender, and his appearance was dignified, and he was particularly eye-catching when he stood in the crowd.

His eyebrows are picturesque against the red wedding dress, and his eyes are gentle like water.

The maids passing by couldn't help but look at him twice when they saw him like this, but such a man had a name.

He stood beside Jiang Shengchuan, but his eyes did not leave the gate, and Jiang Shengchuan called a few times before pulling his thoughts back.

Jiang Shengchuan looked at his lost appearance, and couldn't help but quip: "It's the first time Dad has seen you like this, and he actually gave up for a woman." Not to mention, this appearance is exactly the same as when Dad married your mother. ”

Jiang Duanchen's face was red, and he said to Jiang Shengchuan in a coquettish tone for the first time: "Dad also said that me, I inherited you." Now, I really want to go to Ling'er's house to marry her back immediately, and I can't wait any longer. ”

Jiang Shengchuan was obviously stunned when he heard his tone, for many years, he had never heard Jiang Duanchen talk to him like a family member.

He stopped the pen in his hand, stood up, straightened Lijiang Duan Chen's collar, and said in a soft tone: "My good son, you have grown up. It's good that Dad can watch you take your daughter-in-law with his own eyes. In another hour, you can go to Su's house to marry Su Ling, come over and stick incense with your mother first. ”

He turned around, tears silently rolling in his eyes, if only Su Su could see such a scene now.

Jiang Duanchen nodded, said hello, and followed Jiang Shengchuan to the mourning hall.

His biological mother, Li Susu, stood impressively in the front of the mourning hall.

Jiang Duanchen looked at this unfamiliar name, he hadn't seen his mother since he was born, and he heard Jiang Shengchuan say that his mother died after he was born. He was also sent to the palace since he was a child, and he never came to the mourning hall to put a stick of incense on his mother, which was the first time.

He had also seen Li Susu's portrait in Jiang Shengchuan's study and hall before, and it was a very gentle woman. Her eyebrows and fingertips reveal a tranquil, serene temperament, as if the hustle and bustle of the world has nothing to do with her.

I heard Jiang Shengchuan say before that his mother had a very good relationship with Nie Yunhua during her lifetime, he couldn't believe how such a gentle woman could be friends with that hypocritical woman, and he even doubted that Li Susu's death was related to Nie Yunhua.

But this idea was rejected by Jiang Shengchuan.

Jiang Shengchuan's original words at that time were "The queen mother and your mother are lifelong friends, she will never harm her, and your mother's death is an accident." ”

He and Li Susu don't have any impression and feelings, and since Jiang Shengchuan said so, he doesn't plan to delve into it.

Jiang Shengchuan picked up the three pillars of incense, lit it, and silently burned it for Li Susu, muttering in his mouth: "Susu, your son is about to marry a bride today, I have seen it, he is a good child, may you bless them with good health in the sky." ”

After Jiang Shengchuan finished offering incense, he motioned to Jiang Duanchen to step forward and offer incense.

Jiang Duanchen lit three incense sticks and prayed silently in his heart: Mother, please bless me and Ling'er to be married forever and grow old.

The worship is over, and it's time to greet your relatives.

Jiang Duanchen said goodbye to Jiang Shengchuan and was about to go out, but was stopped by Xue Fei.

I saw Xue Fei's expression solemn, holding a letter in his hand, he handed it to Jiang Duanchen's hand, and whispered in his ear.

Jiang Duanchen's eyebrows twisted after hearing this, and his eyebrows and eyes also revealed solemnity.

"Bring me my court clothes and follow me into the palace." Jiang Duanchen commanded with a low brow.

Xue Fei immediately went to get his court clothes.

Jiang Shengchuan asked puzzledly, "Is something wrong?" ”

Jiang Duanchen pulled out a smile and comforted: "It's nothing, I just need to go back to the palace, and when I come back, I will hold the wedding immediately." Don't tell Ling'er about my departure, wait for me to come back. ”

"Okay." Although Jiang Shengchuan didn't know what was going on, he was about to get married, and Jiang Duanchen had to return to the palace, something big must have happened.

After Xue Fei brought the court clothes, Jiang Duanchen didn't rush to change them, he directly put them on his body, and prepared his horse to go to Shangque City.

After the time to welcome relatives, the Su family still didn't see Jiang Duanchen coming, and Su Ling felt faintly uneasy.

Su Mu looked at her worried look, and comforted her on the side: "Sister, wait, maybe something is delayed." ”

Su Zhangming also anxiously walked around the house.

Because of the death of his mother, Su Zisheng was crazy, standing in the hall and pointing at Su Ling and scolding: "It's all because of you that my mother will die tragically, it must be my mother who has a spirit in the sky and won't let you get married, hahaha big sister, you are just a beast, and you still want to fly on the branches and become a phoenix, dream!" ”

Su Zisheng's pupils widened, and his eyes were bloodshot. Su Zhangming hurriedly ordered Steward Zhang to take him away.

Su Zisheng was dragged by Steward Zhang but still didn't forget to issue a vicious curse to Su Ling, "Su Ling, don't wait, he won't come to marry you, you are not worthy at all!" You are worthy to be an animal for the rest of your life! ”

Su Mu covered Su Ling's ears, unwilling to let her listen to these nonsense, she didn't understand why her mother and brother were so hostile to Su Ling. Obviously, they are sorry for Su Ling.

Su Ling had a tired smile on her face, she reached out and took Su Mu's hand, and said to her, "I'm fine, just wait." ”

"Hmm." Su Mu nodded.

The Su family, which was originally lively and lively, did not see the welcoming team after waiting for a day, and became silent and quiet.

Su Ling couldn't wait for Jiang Duanchen to come, so he decided to go to Jiang's house to find him by himself.

After Su's father and Su Mu fell asleep, Su Ling secretly walked barefoot to the Jiang family in a wedding dress.

She didn't believe it, she didn't believe that Jiang Duanchen, who said that she would marry her in a sedan chair, would abandon her.

It was winter, the road on Jinping Street was cold and biting, and Su Ling was in a hurry, and he didn't wear shoes. But she didn't seem to feel the cold.

The red lanterns hanging from house to house on Jinping Street look gloomy at this moment.

Su Ling walked barefoot like this, and in the white snowy night, her fiery red wedding dress was particularly dazzling.

Her jade feet gradually froze red, and after walking for a long time, the cut wounds were embedded in the gravel, and the dark red blood soaked every footprint she walked.

Her consciousness gradually became blurred, as if she saw Jiang Duanchen for the first time, the high-spirited young man sat on her wall and smiled brightly at her, and then took her to buy new clothes, gently reminding her to remember to wear shoes, hug for the first time, kiss for the first time, and say for the first time that he would marry her and promise her for the rest of his life......

But these beautiful things were shattered tonight, the cold wind passed, Su Ling's consciousness was a little clearer, and the memories she saw in front of her dissipated one by one.

She tried to reach out and grab it, but it was in vain.

Her eyes became dull, even in the cold water prison, she never gave up, just waiting for the day when she could marry him, but this day finally came, and the person who said she wanted to marry her did not come.

She started to run, running forward wantonly in the snow, she thought that as soon as she arrived at Jiang's house, she could see Jiang Duanchen waiting tenderly at the door, and said to her, "I'm sorry, I'm late." ”

The blood seeped more and more from the soles of her feet, and her lips became completely white and bloodless due to the cold and excessive blood loss. Her carefully combed bun was messy in the wind, the silver hairpins fell all over the ground, tears slid down her cheeks, and she continued unconcernedly.

She was tired of running and lost her strength, but she hadn't reached Jiang's house yet.

Her steps faltered, but she kept going, letting the cold wind and snow hit her.

Her mouth kept murmuring, "He won't abandon me, he won't." ”

In the end, she finally walked to the door of the Jiang family.

The little guy in front of the Jiangfu saw the person clearly, and hurriedly stepped forward to help her, but she threw her away.

"What about Jiang Duanchen?" Su Ling asked hoarsely.

The little maid looked frightened and said, "Young lady, why did you come by yourself?" The young master ...... him."

Su Ling shouted hoarsely: "Jiang Duanchen, you are a person!" It was you who said that you wanted to carry a sedan chair to marry me into the Jiang family, and it was you who promised me a lifetime, and now you are a person! ”

"He won't marry you." A cold voice came from behind Su Ling.

Su Ling looked back and looked sluggish, "Qing'er? ”

Qing'er appeared here unexpectedly, but it brought bad news, "The queen mother has already married Jiang Shangshu's daughter Jiang Wenyuan to Jiang Duanchen, and now he has gone to the Prime Minister's Mansion to hold a wedding, from beginning to end, you are just his plaything, and the identity of Jiang Chengxiang is also your high-climbing?" ”

Qing'er's words were like knives piercing Su Ling's heart.

She didn't believe it.

"He won't abandon me, what about Jiang Duanchen? Let him out! Su Ling shouted to the little maid, who knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "Young master, he did go to the imperial city this afternoon. ”

Su Ling's nerves snapped in an instant, and she couldn't believe what she had heard.

And Qing'er was still beside her and said expressionlessly: "Su Ling, I told you a long time ago not to fight with the queen, how can you fight her." ”

Su Ling thought of Jiang Duanchen teaching her to read and write, holding her hand to write stroke by stroke, in order to be worthy of him, she studied hard, just to be able to stand by his side more firmly.

But she tried so long, but she was told that he had married someone else, and that he had turned his back on her on the day of his wedding.

Su Ling's heart was like ashes at the moment, she looked at the big red happy words in front of the Jiang Mansion, and felt extremely ironic.

She finally realized that her feet hurt, and she looked down at her bare feet, which were bloody and blurred, and her eyes were black, and she collapsed to the ground.

Qing'er smiled miserably, and ordered the man in black who was in ambush in the dark to take Su Ling away, and the little guy was knocked unconscious by the man in black.

Qing'er looked at the sack containing Su Ling, and said in a low voice: "Su Ling, if you want to blame, blame you for messing with someone who shouldn't be messed with." I'm sorry. ”

She turned around and instructed the man in black to walk towards the Qinglou.
